Kinship
Full moon keeps me up at night
When honesty begins to sing
And thoughts are followed to their end
And thought becomes my only friend
Full moon sings a lullaby
Where time slows to a snail's pace
And practice leads to mastery
And practice helps the world be free
Be free from what?
Who holds the chain
Imprisoning
The next refrain?
The words of love
Remain unsaid
Though certainly
Not left for dead
Full moon sweeps the sky of stars
When gazers come to bathe in shine
And truth may wash you to your core
And truth chimes in with something more
Full moon leaves a cosmic tale
Where summer's fun comes to an end
And autumn howls a tempest wind
And autumn leaves reveal our sins
Our sins says who?
What choice is there
If talking heads
Confuse your care?
The gift of love
Still burns within
And begs to join
The sky as kin
